The "3D" effect

Another with the 35mm C-Biogon which I'm really appreciating on the M9. Will shoot film with it for the next few weeks. This lens is one to stay.

this is the shallowest dof picture I have ever seen that shows the effect we are discussing here. really nice shot overall.

Both of those images were shot on Zeiss Tessar lens on a Rolleiflex, but I think the effect could be made on any make of lens...

I think the Rollei tessar is actually one of the very best at doing it. other medium format contenders are the Minolta tessar derivative in the autoocord and the pentax 105/2.4 and 78/2.8 for their 6x7 system.

but without question the one lens which I have seen this the most consistently from is the Zeiss 100/2 MP. If I was making money on images I be would using one regardless of my feelings towards telephotos.
 
I think the "pop" is more easily produceable with any lens/subject, when there is strong Bokeh behind and no visible gradient, as in Black's photo of the reveller, which of course doesn't stop it being a cool photo.

However, Nigel's shot of the sitting gentleman has neither of these aspects, yet still seems 3D and is a far greater example of what this thread is about in my opinion.

Both great shots, no doubt aided by the same lens qualities.

Cris, maybe it's all down to the "magic" lens hood you sold me ;)

Not a very interesting picture, but I think it shows that 3D effect some of us like.

Hi Strangeluv, I will start with to say what a great picture to show the pop effect. I only want to ask you if this lens is the same as this Zeiss Biogon T* 35/2,8 ZM ? Link to the page where I am about to buy it thaks to you :)

Excellent Image. Nice "3D" pop with the tree trunk. This is one of the reasons I sold all my Leica glass and am now using only Zeiss ZM and ZF lenses.

Look closely on the texture of the tree barks and tell me you don't feel that they are "three-dee" :D

As others have said, the 3D effect can be created with any lens. Certain elements help, though all need not be present - limited DOF, good focus falloff and micro-contrast in the lens, conducive lighting, etc. Here's one with a Sigma 35 f1.4:

And a Nikon 105 f2:

I don't have a lens yet for my new-to-me M4, but the C-Biogon and Sonnar look like mighty fine candidates...
 
This subject always sparks my interest. Sometimes I got confused with 'glow' but that's another topic for another day. Here's some from me, tell me what you guys think:

1. Helios 58mm f/2

2. Nikkor 55mm f/1.2

3. Xenar 75mm f/3.5 on a Rolleicord III
